Stripes & Plaid

Jeff and I finally managed to do some fall-tivities last weekend! Every other year we've attempted to go to a pumpkin patch, it's basically been the coldest and windiest day ever, so we've really wanted to get in and out. This year, while still super windy, it was actually really beautiful out! While that meant our outdoor time was a much more enjoyable experience, it also meant that the crowds came out with us. We managed to snap these pics in some quiet corners, but the place we went was packed!

We went to Goebbert's in South Barrington with my sister's family for our little fall adventure, and immediately realized that last time we went to Goebbert's we actually went to the other location! If you have little kids who just want to run through a million playgrounds while you sit on a bench and relax, then South Barrington is the location for you, but we really preferred the location in Hampshire. Hampshire is a bit further from Chicago and more rural, which means it's quieter, more spread-out, and less crowded. Although both have a giraffe so I guess you really can't go wrong ;)

I was excited to get to wear this sweatshirt dress, which requires a very specific temperature point to work ;) I added in the boots because I knew it would be dusty and dirty (p.s. check out how to clean your Hunter boots!), which confused my sister to no end since it wasn't anywhere close to raining. I pointed out that lots of other people were wearing rain boots too, they just, you know, weren't bright red. Great minds think alike, and then some of those minds think they could somehow be greater and choose red.
